Cholesterol absorption is mainly regulated by the jejunal and ileal ATP-binding cassette sterol efflux transporters Abcg5 and Abcg8 in mice.
In the present study, we investigated whether intestinal sterol efflux transporters Abcg5 and Abcg8 play a major role in determining variations in cholesterol (Ch) absorption efficiency, and we compared the physiological functions of the duodenal, jejunal, and ileal Abcg5 and Abcg8 on the absorption of Ch and sitostanol in inbred mice challenged with various amounts of Ch, sitostanol, hydrophil...
متن کاملCooperative transcriptional activation of ATP-binding cassette sterol transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes by nuclear receptors including Liver-X-Receptor
The ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 form heterodimers that limit absorption of dietary sterols in the intestine and promote cholesterol elimination from the body through hepatobiliary secretion. To identify cis-regulatory elements of the two genes, we have cloned and analyzed twenty-three evolutionary conserved region (ECR) fragments using the CMV-luciferase reporter system in...
متن کاملRole of intestinal sterol transporters Abcg5, Abcg8, and Npc1l1 in cholesterol absorption in mice: gender and age effects.
Recent studies have indicated that intestinal cholesterol absorption is a multistep process, which is regulated by multiple genes at the enterocyte level. However, the molecular mechanisms whereby there are gender differences in intestinal cholesterol absorption efficiency and the efficiency of cholesterol absorption increases with age have not yet been fully understood. To explore whether agin...
متن کاملCholesterol and plant sterol efflux from cultured intestinal epithelial cells is mediated by ATP-binding cassette transporters.
In this study we analyzed functions of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters involved in sterol transport from Caco-2 cells. Treatment with a synthetic liver x receptor ligand elevated both mRNA and protein levels of ABCG5, G8, and ABCA1. The ligand stimulated cholesterol efflux, suggesting that ABC transporters are involved in it. To identify the acceptors of cholesterol, potential molecules...
متن کاملBiliary cholesterol secretion by the twinned sterol half-transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8.
The long wait for a cellular and functional definition of canalicular transporters for biliary cholesterol appears to be over. Articles in this issue of the JCI provide a fascinating account of the cellular itinerary of two murine ATP-binding cassette (ABC) halftransporters from the ribosome to the hepatocyte apical membranes (1) and show that the corresponding human genes, when overexpressed i...
